7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

All Mom's medical test results history...
...ordered through her PCP have been posted. I'll have some commentary soon, perhaps as soon as tomorrow, regarding whether I will attempt to attain other test results and reports taken in this time period by the gastro-enterologist who performed her colonoscopy and the test results that exist from her overnight hospital stay in the fall. For the time being though, I'm not going to worry about those, as I am quite clear on what happened and why in regards to those two events without the tests.
I've made some interesting discoveries about tests and about my mother's medical history. I'll cover those later, as well.
At the moment I'm going to publish, update the search index, cover myself on my futon and get some sleep before Mom awakens this morning.
Just a note, we had an excellent day today. Mom was in a very good mood, joined in a raucous, heated discussion about men, sex and gasoline (yes, all in the same savory stew of words) at the salon with three others including me, exercised behind yet another shopping cart, decided we should adopt a baby kangaroo and a dog who will nurse kittens, and slept very little outside of her usual night sleep and her two short naps. I'm sitting here smiling as I write this. I had a good day, too.
Good, good night.
